Overview
Jo Corrigan and The Commoner restaurant crew are excited to announce a yearlong calendar of cult movie inspired menus.
From Planet of the Apes to Jaws, six classic movies have been given a tantalising twist. Each menu is available in conjunction with the regular menu and will run for one month only. Offered at just $80/head, or $120 with matching wines, guests are offered five courses of The Commoner's delectable modern British style fare, according to the theme for that month's menu.
Each new menu will kick off with a launch night held on the first Thursday of that month. For just $60, and running from 7-10pm, guests can sample and sip across the menu in a casual, social environment. Note: Poultrygeist and Whisky Business launch nights will be full sit-down degustations.
